"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Mark did an excellent job. He cares about his work and wants to make sure you are satisfied. While providing and estimate he took note of a gutter that needed to be replaced and gave me an excellent price. I asked about a chimney cap and he came back to do that as well. I was more than pleased with the services provided and would definitely hire again!"

Stuart and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my kitchen. They installed new cabinets, granite countertops, and a natural stone backsplash. The craftsmanship was excellent and I would definitely work with them again

"The plans were drawn for two bathroom renovations. Just prior to starting the renovation our (not planned) third bath shower started leaking through the bedroom ceiling below. Contacting Marc Chavaree of our problem he assigned our project manager to the task, arriving promptly to access the situation. In short order they had the shower completely gutted and installed a new shower pan, wall with tile, tile floor, and repair of ceiling in bedroom below. This untimely event turned out to be an awesome top notch job that was accomplished in approximately two weeks. Immediately following the other two bathrooms were completely gutted. The first bathroom had new tub and surround, toilet, vent fan, vanity with granite top, and tile floor. The second bathroom had new walls installed in tub area with tile from tub to ceiling, new tile floor with tile extending up wall four feet throughout the bath, and new tub and toilet. A custom wall cabinet was made and a vanity with granite top was installed. The foyer area outside of the bath also had a makeover with the doorways. The crew was very professional, courteous, and always kept area cleaned up. The tile installers were very professional and gladly asked our advice on tile pattern layout. The carpenter, Daniel, is a master craftsman, he made the difference when work was seemingly difficult and made it look easy, he is very attentive to details. We did have a slight issue with the project manager though, we felt he wasn't communicating well with us or the crew on certain details. Once we addressed it with Marc Chavaree, the issue was quickly resolved to our satisfaction. Overall we are very happy with the transformation of our bathrooms, in essence it makes us feel as though we are in a 5-star hotel. We appreciate the high standards of service that Accent Renovations provided and would recommend Accent Renovations to others and we would use them again.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line. 

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.
